Police have confirmed they asked Russell Brand to leave his ex-girlfriend Jemima Goldsmith's house in 2014 after she reported an alleged assault.
Thames Valley Police said officers were contacted by the alleged victim on 25 July 2014 but no arrests were made.
Brand was asked to leave the Oxfordshire address "as per the victim's wishes", the police added in a statement on Wednesday.
Goldsmith, who dated the disgraced entertainer for roughly a year, wrote on X on Monday that she "had to call the police to have him removed from my house in 2014 during a violent incident" but chose not to press charges.
Brand was jailed for 10-and-a-half years for rape and sexual assault on Monday.
